Self-Regulation with Accreditation
successful completion of FDP Workshop
The two day event had a smooth finish with enthusiastic participation with faculty represented from across the country both in Offline and Online mode. The joint initiative of ISBR Business School, Association of Indian Management Schools (AIMS) and Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation (AIMS) had almost 20 speakers from India and abroad and participation of three accreditation systems EFMD, ACBSP and IACBE directly and two morel AACSB and AMBA-BGA by experts familiar with their systems. A book is being compiled by the team to put together which will be shared soon.
Similar initiatives would be taken across the regions of AIMS, the southern region vice president of the agency ,Dr Narayana Reddy announced.
International Accreditation by World’s accreditation systems have come to stay in India. From a mere 1 internationally Accredited school, namely Management Development Institute (MDI) Gurgaon in 2015, the numbers have swollen to 120 plus today with a further 150 schools processing their international accreditation. The extraordinary fiat has been achieved by a strong push given by the leading Business school associations like Association of Indian Management Schools ( AIMS) and International Accreditation advocacy organisation SEAA (Standards for Educational Advancement & Accreditation), a New Delhi based non-profit.
There is much work to be done still considering that there are over 3000 Business schools today in India and the New Education Policy NEP rightly insists that future growth of higher education institutions would be anchored around high quality accreditation received by the institutions.
​Our FDP on accreditation commons would touch various aspects listed in this page.

TRIPLE CROWN ACCREDITATION
​
Triple accreditation is an interesting phenomena in the world of accreditation globally which simply means the schools listed here have acquired AACSB, EFMD and AMBA accreditation all three of which considered to be world's top rated ones by the academic community.
In India two schools, IIM Calcutta nd IIM Indore are triple accredited at present.
​
The accompanying chart is an interesting one that describes 129 having received their triple accreditation crowns. The three accreditation agencies involved themselves had accredited:
AACSB: 1020 accreditations of which 773 of them were AACSB only while the rest 64 were triple crowned and rest of the combinations.
EFMD: The European Federation's EQUIS accreditation were offered to 221 schools of which 25 had exclusive and the rest were either triple crown (54) and other combinations.
AMBA: The London based AMBA had 289 accredited schools as of March 31, 2024 according to MBA.Today which had 83 AMBA only 13 triple crown and rest of different combinations.
